Country Name exists or not in Jquery!!

Question

Hi All,
I want to validate country filed in Jquery, when the users clicks the filed if that country does not exists in database then the validation should throw error.
Below is the script i had wriiten when the submit button is pressed. Now how to handle those error messages in the below script.
function validateCTRY(){
                var data=$.data(P1_ENG_CTRY);
                if (data.autocomplete.selectedItem)
                                if(data.autocomplete.selectedItem==undefined)
                                                invalidModel = true;  //error scenario
                                else
                                                $(P1_ENG_CTRY).css("background-color","#FFFFFF"); //success scenario
                else
                                invalidModel = true; //error scenario
}Thanks,
Anoo..
